'make check' test 6 fail, native hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00, autoconf 2.50 and autoconf 2.50b

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

My configuration is native hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00.

I'm building autoconf 2.50 because I need it to build CVS libtool,
so I can work on a libtool problem. 

I'm getting this failure:

  Failed tests:
     6: tools.at:232    autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions

This happens with both autoconf 2.50 and autoconf 2.50b.

My baseline software is:

  gnu make 3.79.1
  binutils 2.11.2
  gcc 3.0
  m4 1.4

I've appended the testsuite.log files from both 2.50 and 2.50b.
I got these from:

  wget -q ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.50.tar.gz
  wget -q ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.50b.tar.gz

I hope this is useful to you.  I don't have the cycles to contribute
much more than these testsuite.log files.  I can build and test more
versions of autoconf, either from tarballs or from a CVS repository.
